Captivating Eye and Soul

There are people who walk into a room and subtly shift the energy, Nine van der Poel is one of them.

A breathtaking presence, a quiet force of authenticity and connection. She moves through life with a natural ease; observing, capturing, and curating moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Nine has the gift for making people feel seen and weaving community through both her camera and her presence. Nine lives for the little moments that give life meaning: the perfect song at the perfect time, an unforgettable conversation, the way light hits a surface just right. She absorbs inspiration from everything around her, from a beautifully set table to a fleeting interaction on the street. And whether she’s working, dancing through the night, or sharing stories with friends, she brings her full self into every experience.

Her style moves with her. During the day, it’s practical yet deeply personal and always carries a signature detail that makes it hers. At night, she lets go, dressing with an effortless mix of minimalism, vintage treasures and expressive accents. She never settles for a single definition of style because, for Nine, true style is fluid. It’s not about choosing between practical or elegant, bold or understated; it’s about embracing it all, as long as it feels true.

She is a natural trendsetter, not by following fashion, but by embodying a style that is entirely her own. With an innate sense of balance, she knows exactly how to bring out the best in others; whether through the right outfit, a well timed conversation or the simple act of making someone feel at home. She is the kind of person you want to dance with, to celebrate with, to go on an adventure with.

And what makes Nine feel confident?
"Confidence, for me, is being completely present in the moment, whether I’m behind the camera, hosting a gathering for friends, or dancing until sunrise. It’s embracing full self-expression, letting go, and allowing myself to be moved by the energy around me. When what I wear amplifies how I feel, when I surrender to the experience without hesitation, that’s when I feel most powerful. True confidence comes from authenticity; when I own every version of myself."
